He or if he did has managed to make himself invisible to the physical vision, Perhaps it is well for Teed and his proselytes that he has made himself scarce, us the good people of Washington Heights, where the new christ had purchased the oid Hillard homestead for the purpose of establishing a “heaven,” bad made up their minds that a coat of tar and feathers would just about meet the exigencies of the case. Insome quarters it is stated that Toed had d through the heights at 7 o'clock yester- ¥ Morning, but a most diligeut search tailed to reveal his whereabouts.

New Onteaxs, May 8.—Ever since Post Department Commander Jacob Gray of the G. A. R. some two years ago chartered a number of negro posts there has beer a continual wran- gle, the white posts declining to accord any recognition to the negro posts, A decision was had since, the commander-in-chief recognizing these negro posts, but Deputy Commander Frederick Speed refused to inspect them or recognize them in any way. He was warned that serious consequences might ensue, but his comrades indorsed his course and de- cided to sticks to it. A lengthy petition was prepared and for- warded to the uational commander, Gen. Pal- mer of New York. The colored posts also got up & petition, which it appears had more fect. It led to the suspension of the depart- ment commander and senior vice commander for disobedience of orders, Col. Jas. Lewis, who leads the fight for the megro posts, atated that they were certain to win and that the white posts would not dis- solve, as bad been alleged, as sufficient mem- bers would remain to preserve their organiza- tion, The command of the departmen: de- volves upon Junior Vico Commander Miller, who issmdto be as firmly opposed to the negro as the two deposed officers. 2 HEARING TODAY. ‘Taking of Testfnony in the Ellis Island In- vestigation Postponed.

The Hawattan Islands Tired of Being an Independent People. Curcaco, May 3.—Henry Waterhouse of Hon- olulu is at the Palmer awaiting tho arrival of ex-Prime Minister Thurston, who comes to Chiengo to arrange for a reproduction at the world’s fair of the great Hawaiian volcano, Mauna, “Annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States,” he said, “is inevitable. If a miracle should, however, lead the United States to decline ite opportunity the islands will become the property of some one else. It 18 impossible for them to continue for over as au independent nation, The reasons for this have been frequently told. I can only add that after forty years spent in Honolulu T know that these reasons are well grounded. ‘The natives want a republic. ‘The queen, how- ever, will hold the throne until death removes her ‘from it. The vast body of American residents are anxious for annexation, no mat- tor what its opponents may say. The United Statee is nearct to us than any other country, and her interests in the istands is greater than that of any other, but if she refuses ua merely because annexation would necessitate expenditures for fortifications when in reality these fortifications on the Pacific are just what she needs, why we must look to England, France or Germany.” ———+ SEIZED THE “COMMONWEAL.” Its Publishers Indicted In London for Its Inflammatory Artl Loxpos, May 3,—At the Oid Bailey the grand jury have brought true bills against Mowbray, publisher, and Nicholis, editor, of the anarchist newspaper, the Commonweal, seized last week by the police, ‘The charges against them aro based on arti- cles in the Commonweal inciting to the mur- derof Mr. Matthews, home secretary, and Sir Henry Hawkins, justice of the queen's Lench, ‘The suppreesion of the paper at te time it was effected was most fortunate, ay it prevented the issue of a dangerously inflammatory number which was to have been issued on May and revealed ite connection witu tue Wal- sali anatchists and threw further light on their doings.

Johnson Will Probably Be Se- lected as Its Secretary. It has not yet been decided as to who will be nominated at the Minneapolis convention, but there is a large batch of testimony in which would seem to prove that Col. C. W. Johnson, chief clerk of the Senate, will be the conven- tion’s secretary. Those who ought to know all about the matter say that Col. Jobnson is the choice of » majority of the republican national committee, and it is a sure thing that the colonel has been indorsed, not only by the Senators from Minnesota, but by very many other possessors of seats in the “upper house."
